Control(s)
Notes:
1. The control status of components, test
and production equipment, and software
therefor which are specially designed for
telecommunications equipment or systems is
determined in Category 5, Part 1.
N.B.1.: For lasers specially designed for
telecommunications equipment or systems, see
ECCN 6A005.
N.B.2.: See also Category 5, Part 2 for
equipment, components, and software,
performing or incorporating information
security functions.
2. Digital computers, related equipment
or software, when essential for the operation
and support of telecommunications equipment
described in this Category, are regarded as
specially designed components, provided
they are the standard models customarily
supplied by the manufacturer. This includes
operation,
administration,
maintenance,
engineering or billing computer systems.

coding is defined as the technique to take
samples of human voice and then convert these
samples of human voice into a digital signal
taking into account specific characteristics of
human speech.
